A Sideways Look at the General Studies Revision

The proposed GST revision has an interesting set of concentric circles in it with the "global citizen" at the center. At today's forum, someone mentioned that the current graphic being used only shows the student at the center and reinforces an egocentric mentality devoid of other humans. I was confused, since I had always seen other people in the picture. I tried to draw a quick sketch to make my case, but my quick sketches didn't really do the job. When I got back to the office, I modeled it quickly on the computer.

Global Citizen, Top View

I've always imagined that the yellow "global citizen" circle was a person seen from overhead. He was surrounded by other citizens (in the purple ring) that he interacts with through ethical reasoning and personal responsibility.

Global Citizen, Side View

Of course, it could be that our faculty and students are the "global citizenS" that interact with others.

Global Citizens, Side View

Finally, as a natural scientist, I like to imagine that the big blue sphere represents the world that we try to gain knowledge of through inquiry.

Global Citizens, Side View

However, I think other see the purple ring as a lens through which we view the world instead and that there should be blue people in here somewhere. :)

Anyway, I'm much more interested in the details of the GST review (e.g. how courses might get tagged, who is making the final decisions on classes, how much science students will be learning). However, today my mind drifted a bit to thinking about Viz Cult and how a flat image of colored concentric rings could have so many different meanings to people.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

I do believe all the ideas you've presented to your post. They're very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for beginners. May just you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time?

Thank you for the post.

An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
